 This is the only good version of "Closer"...the single disc one is too skimpy... October 8, 2008
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
It really is...too much missing for the true Sarahphile...if that was the only version available, better to download the 2 new tracks. This double is much more like it...the best 3 songs from "Touch" REMASTERED, the best 4 songs from "Solace" REMASTERED...then the most popular 5 songs from FTE, in a good context with the mesmerizing title track as Disc 1's closer, perfect.
Then Disc 2 has the hits from "Surfacing", the live hit of "I Will Remember You" from "Mirrorball", the 4 hits from her "comeback" album "Afterglow", then the 2 new songs "Don't Give Up On Us" & "U Want Me 2"...bringing things up to date, AND then ending the program with 3 worthy radio remixes and the sought-after, soundtrack & rarities-disc exclusive and superior studio version of "I Will Remember You".
Add a nice picture-and-art-filled booklet and simple-but-classy digipack packaging, and this is as good a Sarah anthology/hits collection as you can get, without there being a boxset. Not sure if there will ever BE a boxset, as Sarah had just left her sole, longtime US label Arista for her own label/internet releases, so "Closer" (apt title too) is a perfect label wrapup project...until her next album/next chapter.
Word of advice...if you are just a very basic radio/hits/casual Sarah fan, the single disc will do...HOWEVER, if you want more, are a bigger fan/admirer/friend, or want to look for a really good overview and deeper look than just the radio hits...
ONLY go for the double deluxe, ONLY.
Always great Sarah McLachlan November 10, 2008

Closer, one of the best by Sarah McLachlan so far. Her voice has never sounded better!
One complaint on an otherwise perfect "best of" collection. October 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I heard that Arista was releasing a "best of" disc I wondered just one thing.....why? I own all of her studio and live releases and every CD single and promo release that's been issued. When I saw the track listing for the 2-disc set of this new hits collection I immediately decided to purchase it. I based my decision on the fact that remastered versions of I Will Remember You and the radio remix of Hold On would be on the second disc. Elated on the day of it's release, I go out and make my purchase at Best Buy only to find that the track "Hold On (Radio Remix)" is NOT in fact the remix. It's just a repeat of the album version found on disc one. I know this because I have the Tom Lord-Alge remix on an older promo CD single of lesser sound quality. SHAME on Arista for letting this slip through the cracks. I am worried if I purchase the disc from Amazon that I'll get exactly the same thing I got at Best Buy. Can anyone tell me if Amazon is selling the same botched copies? If you're an obsessed die-hard fan you'll immediately know the difference between the album version and remix version of Hold On. Anyway, the collection on this 2-disc set is overall spectacular and would recommend it to anyone.
Great compilation of hits! October 17, 2008

Sarah McLachlan is one of the greatest vocalist of our time and this double CD is a reflection of some her best songs in the past decade. This a great introduction to someone new to her music. For an existing fan, who doesn't own all her records, this is the perfect way to fill the gap in your collection. As a bonus, it has a couple of new tracks. This is indeed, one of the best compilations released this year. Great buy!

Definitely the best works of Sarah thus far. I own the entire Sarah McLachlan catalog, and I must say that unlike most artists, this is worth the purchase for the 2 new songs!!!
